Our tour with Finn Ballard was excellent. Finn had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of the wall. He used a tablet to add informative material. He was a very pleasant guide and we would unhesitatingly recommend him and the tour.

Hi Carol, we've just spotted your question - sorry about that! We are strong believers in experiencing a city on the ground, up close and personal. Failing that, there's a city bus route in Berlin, #100, that drives past many of the well-known sights. It's a nice way to see the city from a local perspective. Let us know if you come back to Berlin!
